    There sure is a lot of reaching in that article... Sonic fans... can't live with them, can't drag them out in to the street and shoot them in to the sun.

    Ugh...honestly, Sega needs to stop focusing on Sonic and start bringing back their other dead mascots.

    xbox gets the guest-character shaft again. First it was Spawn in Soul Calibur II, and now this. Not that I can think of any good microsoft-exclusive characters in this age of multi-platform games.

    They're not. They're apparently guests for the game. Mario is a guest for the Wii version, Banjo-Kazooie on the Xbox 360 version, and Sackboy on the Playstation 3 version.

    The back of that box looks totally photoshopped.

    And if it's not, then it's the worstbox backing I've ever seen.

    Well Ryu from Shenmue is in it, and he looks realistic.

    They probably wanted a character with similar marketability to this game's main demographic (which odds are aren't old school Sega fans).

    "Hey, you like racing around as Banjo-Kazooie on 360, well they have their own game where they drive around in stuff. Ask Mommy, Daddy, or Mommy's special friend "Aunt" Carol to get it for you!"

    Can't they just make a new jet set radio and shenmue game? They keep making crossover games with all their mascots, but sooner or later people are going to stop caring due to not knowing who the characters are other then sonic. Though I suppose sonic sells so whatever.
